Today was a special one. Dr. Hank Strickland and his lovely wife came in for a cleaning, and it brought back so many memories.

Twenty years ago in June 2006, one of the best decisions I ever made was going to work for Dr. Strickland. He was much more than a mentor to me. He was a father figure here in Rocky Mount. I learned so much from him — not only about surgery, but about leadership, running a business, and managing a large dental team with excellence and care.

Dr. Strickland and his wife have also always taken such great care of our family, and for that I will always be grateful.

Forever thankful for the Stricklands and the impact they have had on my life. ❤️

Neat case that really highlights the power of collaborative care. We completed phenotype modification therapy with a predictable free gingival graft prior to orthodontics with the one and only Dr. Ken Miller III.

Our patient was incredibly kind to share a video testimonial — and even invited me to join her husband for a podcast with Twin County Media. It was a pleasure meeting Benton, and Rocky Mount is lucky to have such thoughtful, amazing people like Benton & Morgan.

Truly honored and humbled to receive this award, especially alongside so many friends and colleagues I admire big time! Huge thanks to my mentors, colleagues, and the incredible companies I collaborate with for trusting me to teach—this wouldn’t be possible without you.

To everyone who attended a course or webinar, followed along, nominated, and voted—thank you. I learn just as much from you on this journey, and that makes it incredibly meaningful. Balancing teaching, private practice, and family isn’t always easy, but knowing I can positively impact others’ clinical careers makes it all worth it.

Thank you for creating such an amazing platform for dental education. 🙏

⏱ Typical ridge augmentation in less than a minute.
For true predictability, every single step matters — executed with precision, detail, and following the PASS principle.

Not difficult… but perfection is in the details. 👌

I’ll break this down in more depth during my webinar next month on October 22, 2025 8 PM SGT 🗓️🦷

Many of you were inquiring about a case I recently shared in my IG stories, so here it is.
Just about everyday, I get one of these exams… failing implant. 😔
These are so hard to treat. Save vs. explant. Surgical vs. non-surgical. Remove crown or keep on. What biomaterials. Modify implant surface. Which decontamination protocol. Do I want to “inherit the problem.” I could go on and on.
This patient did not want to “start over” and asked if I could save her implants.
Making no promise, I treated her with what has worked very well for me over the years. Check out this case.
Did we regenerate all the missing bone? Nope. 👎
Are these implants going to last forever? Not sure. 🤔
Is my patient happy about not having to start over? 👍
Do I consider this to be a much more stable situation? Hell yeah! 😎
I would love to hear how you are trying to save ailing implants.
And thank you to my good friend as I took a page out of his post. 🙏 Check his account - amazing cases and a lot you can learn from!

As Thanksgiving nears, I wanted to share what I am forever grateful for as today marks the 5 year anniversary of my last neck surgery! Yes, I had 3.
Where would I be without Dr. Daniel Riew. I did talk to him recently but I want to thank him again for pretty much giving me my life back.
For those who do not know, I had lived in a world of pain from 2012-2019. Being only 35 years old at the time when this began, it was devastating to me to already be dealing with chronic pain. It all started
with some neck pain that would radiate down my left arm. Fortunately I never had any motor deficiency, but the nerve pain was horrible…….

Where it all began. I could not be more thankful for my experience at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The education, the training, world class mentors, and meeting my best friends… I am blessed. 😇
I still cannot believe that 20 years have already past since graduation.
Thank you HSDM! 😊
